Our Wedding

Daniela and Blake both attended Texas A&amp;M University for their bachelor degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Chemical Engineering respectively. They were fortunate to be surrounded by incredible friends from childhood and school and were involved in student organizations, while balancing difficult coursework. Although they both lived in College Station, their paths did not cross until 2019, with the exception of a political science class with over 200 students. During Blake's junior year and Daniela's final semester, the two matched on a dating app. After a few conversations and getting to know each other a bit more, Blake asked Daniela out to grab a drink and dinner at World of Beer. Their first date went well and the conversation flowed easily between them. Shortly after, Blake asked Daniela out again for sushi at Yummi Yummi, a College Station staple. Similar to the first date, they got along easily and wanted to keep the date going as long as possible, heading to Starbucks after dinner for a nighttime coffee run. They spent hours talking in Blake's Honda Element and the beginning of a meaningful relationship bloomed quickly. Within a week, it was Valentine's Day and the two of them shared their first kiss. This sealed the deal and the two have been a permanent part of each other's lives, no matter how many different jobs or opportunities have kept them from living in the same city. This next chapter of becoming husband and wife is something Daniela and Blake have patiently waited for over the past 6 years and it means the world to them to say finally say "I do" with their family and friends there to celebrate.
